Does royal mail deliver on bank holiday weekends

Royal Mail's delivery services are affected by bank holidays in the UK. Here's what you need to know:

Standard Delivery:

• Royal Mail's standard delivery service, including 1st Class and 2nd Class mail, is not affected by bank holidays. Mail will still be collected and delivered on bank holidays, but the delivery times may be slightly delayed.
• However, if a bank holiday falls on a Saturday, Royal Mail's standard delivery service will not be affected, as Saturday is a normal working day for them.

Special Delivery:

• Royal Mail's Special Delivery service, which guarantees next-day delivery by 1 pm, is not available on bank holidays. If you send a Special Delivery item on a bank holiday, it will be delivered on the next working day.
• If a bank holiday falls on a Saturday, Special Delivery items will still be delivered on the next working day, which would be Monday.

Collection and Delivery Times:

• Royal Mail's collection times may be affected by bank holidays, so it's possible that your mail may not be collected until the next working day.
• Delivery times may also be delayed, but Royal Mail aims to deliver mail as quickly as possible.

Online Tracking:

• You can still track your Royal Mail items online, even on bank holidays. However, the tracking information may not be updated in real-time, as Royal Mail's systems may be affected by the bank holiday.

It's always a good idea to check with Royal Mail or your local post office for specific information on delivery times and services during bank holidays.
